Curious About Genital Herpes?

Friday October 31, 2008
Genital herpes is a scary disease because it's permanent - once you have it, you always have it.

The other scary thing about genital herpes is most people who have it, don't know it. Most people actually don't get a typical rash.

That means you can get genital herpes from someone who doesn't have a rash and has never had one if they are in this category.

Are you worried you might have genital herpes? Are you worried someone you've had sexual contact with might have genital herpes? Are you curious about who typically gets genital herpes? (Caution, it's not who you think.) Do you just want to know more?

This is the place to start to learn more about genital herpes.
